This man is just fascinating to watch

When I first tuned in, he was ranting about neocons and their adventurism, and I was a bit surprised since I agree with that

Then he said Germany should stop supporting the war in Ukraine, and it doesn’t help Germany to just be a US base. Agree

… because “a strong Germany is the best defense against Russia” 🤨

Something something, Kamala is going to let BRICS happen and that’s bad

Just all over the place lol

    Dude is part of the Kennedy family, the chance of him ever living a normal life was zero the moment he was born.

      Yeah not to give him too much sympathy, but I mean, his dad and uncle were RFK and JFK, of course he'd become an insane weirdo.

    It’s actually cool that he is talking about how mass produced food has additives like sugar to make it addictive and/or cheaper

    Also taking Covid seriously

    Weird tangent on estrogen though

        I think you’re right, I mistook what he meant by “national health epidemic”

          yeah i'm pretty sure he meant "people are on their dang phones too much" when he was talking about the national health epidemic

      RFK Jr does not take covid seriously in any way, he would instantly believe anybody who says the covid vaccine is worse than covid. He doesn't even believe HIV causes AIDS. I wouldn't trust him not to believe the idiots who say masks cause oxygen deprivation.

      He would be the worst public health Czar of all time if he got a HHS position.

        You’re right. I was only half listening and heard him talking about inaction regarding a national health epidemic. I haven’t paid much attention to this election cycle since I moved out of the country so I’m a bit uninformed about this guy outside of the memes, thanks for the context.

          The dude goes to 3rd world countries (Samoa) and convinced their government not to vaccinate children for measles, causing 88 deaths of children. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/07/how-rfk-jr-falsely-denied-his-connection-to-a-deadly-measles-outbreak-in-samoa/

          Anyway he does have decent foreign policy takes sometimes so he's not all bad, but he can never be president IMO because he's a Zionist of the highest order and he would destroy public health in the US.

        For all the problems with Trump's covid response, at least he didn't block project warp speed (accelerated development/approval of vaccines). RFK Jr or his appointees would have definitely slow-rolled that while the rest of the world stocked up on the vaccines.

    I was interested to hear him even mention BRICS since I thought only leftists and right wing financial weirdos care about BRICS. I would be surprised to hear it mentioned from either Kamala or Trump, although I can’t say for sure whether they ever have.

    Is he actually dropping out? He's legit the only hope people have of not getting Trump again lmao.

      He said something characteristically confusing, along the lines of:

      “I’m not dropping out, I’m suspending my campaign. People in blue states can still vote for me, I will be on the ballot in blue states if you want to cast a vote for neither Trump nor Kamala. Oh and the same applies to red states.”

      I was going to come up with a better speech but I was planting a dead deer in front of an elementary school last night and doing just.... so much blow.
